Formulation view A talc-based powder framework with mica and polyethylene for spreadability, balanced with light esters. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and potassium sorbate, colored via lakes and iron oxides. Ideal for dry skin. Manufacturing requires strict control of mixing uniformity to prevent color streaks, as compaction density directly impacts product longevity.

Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Tricaprylin
- Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D'Abeille
- Beeswax emulsifier and thickener; animal-derived, low allergenicity but high concentrations may clog pores, requires compatibility testing.
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Lanolin
- Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-150 Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; mild comedogenic risk.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Orange 4 Lake
- Orange 4 Lake pigment (CI 15985) for coloring; oil-soluble, often used in wax-based formulations.
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
